Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)/carbon composite was prepared by in situ chemical polymerization of EDOT monomer in carbon matrix. PEDOT has electrocatalytic activity toward oxygen reduction and evolution reactions in Li-O2 battery significantly lowering charging voltage. The electrocatalytic effect is probably due to the redox activity of PEDOT which apparently acts as a mediator in electron transfer during discharge and charge processes.
